It is the target window for restoring systems and services, and it is usually expressed in hours or days. The goal of a disaster recovery plan is to minimize the RTO and ensure that the business can quickly resume normal operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">RPO, on the other hand, refers to the amount of data loss that a business can tolerate in the event of a disaster or disruption. It is the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time, such as hours or days. The goal of a disaster recovery plan is to minimize the RPO and ensure that the most recent, critical data is protected and recoverable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In simple terms, RTO is the time it takes to recover, while RPO is the amount of data loss that is acceptable. Both RTO and RPO are critical components of a disaster recovery plan, and they should be carefully considered and set based on the specific needs and requirements of a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Calculating-RTO-and-RPO\" class=\"\">To put this into a real world example, a healthcare organization may have an RPO of 12 hours, meaning that it can tolerate a maximum of 12 hours of data loss. However, its RTO may be set at 2 hours, meaning that it must resume normal operations within 2 hours in order to provide critical services to patients and maintain regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As demonstrated by our example, RTO and RPO values can vary depending on the specific requirements and needs of a business. Both RTO and RPO are important components of a disaster recovery plan, and they should be carefully considered and set based on the criticality of the systems, services, and data involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading__glossary__content is-style-heading-4\" id=\"Calculating-RTO-and-RPO\">Calculating RTO and RPO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Calculating RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) requires an understanding of the critical systems, services, and data involved, as well as the impact of a disaster or disruption on the business. Here are the steps to calculate RTO and RPO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Identify critical systems, services, and data<\/strong>: Determine which systems, services, and data are critical to the business and must be recovered in the event of a disaster. This may include data centers, servers, applications, databases, and other critical infrastructure.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Assess the impact of a disaster<\/strong>: Consider the impact that a disaster or disruption would have on the business, including financial losses, regulatory penalties, repetitional damage, and customer impact.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Determine the acceptable RPO<\/strong>: Based on the impact of a disaster, determine the maximum acceptable amount of data loss in hours or days. This is the RPO.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Determine the acceptable RTO:<\/strong> Based on the impact of a disaster, determine the target time for restoring systems and services. This is the RTO.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Validate the RTO and RPO<\/strong>: Review the RTO and RPO values to ensure that they are realistic and achievable given the resources and technology available.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Update the RTO and RPO regularly<\/strong>: Regularly review and update the RTO and RPO values to ensure that they remain relevant and effective.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"data-protection\" class=\"\">It&#8217;s important to note that calculating RTO and RPO is a complex process that requires a deep understanding of the business operations and requirements. In many cases, organizations may seek the assistance of a disaster recovery consultant or service provider to help with the calculation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading__glossary__content is-style-heading-4\" id=\"What-Does-RPO-vs.-RTO-Mean-in-Cloud-Data-Protection-and-Disaster-Recovery\">What Does RPO vs. RTO Mean in Cloud Data Protection and Disaster Recovery Solutions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In the context of cloud data protection, RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) have the same definitions and principles as in disaster recovery and business continuity planning. However, the specific considerations for RPO and RTO may differ when it comes to cloud data protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">RPO in cloud data protection refers to the maximum amount of data loss that can occur in the event of a disaster or disruption, and it is usually measured in time, such as hours or days. The goal of cloud data protection is to ensure that the most recent, critical data is protected and recoverable within the RPO timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">RTO in cloud data protection refers to the time it takes to recover cloud systems and services and resume normal operations after a disaster or disruption. It is the target window for restoring systems and services, and it is usually expressed in hours or days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"industry-Standards\" class=\"\">Cloud data protection solutions should provide the necessary data backup and recovery capabilities to meet the specific RPO and RTO requirements of a business. This may involve a combination of backup and recovery technologies, such as snapshots, replication, and cloud-to-cloud backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-reduced-padding\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-style-group-rounded mt-sm\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull are-vertically-aligned-center has-eggshell-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-large is-style-heading-5 has-almost-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-want-to-see-data-protection-in-action\">Want to see data protection in action? <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commvault.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1_CCPP.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74628\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left is-style-small has-almost-black-color has-text-color\">See the fully functional, full-service product today, and see how Commvault can serve your needs directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-primary-alt wp-block-commvault-v2-custom-button\"\t\t>\n\n\t\n\t\t<a\n\t\t\tclass=\"cmvlt-2-custom-button btn-md text-body-l font-medium \"\n\t\t\thref=\"\/request-demo\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Get a demo\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t\t>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M48 24C48 37.2548 37.2548 48 24 48C10.7452 48 0 37.2548 0 24C0 10.7452 10.7452 0 24 0C37.2548 0 48 10.7452 48 24Z\" fill=\"black\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M28.5858 23.0001L23.2929 17.7072L24.7071 16.293L32.4142 24.0001L24.7071 31.7072L23.2929 30.293L28.5858 25.0001H17V23.0001H28.5858Z\" fill=\"currentcolor\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"font-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\tGet a demo\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading__glossary__content is-style-heading-4\" id=\"RTO-and-RPO-Industry-Standards-and-Requirements\">RTO and RPO Industry Standards and Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">There are no industry-wide standards for RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) in disaster recovery and business continuity planning. However, there are several standards and regulations that organizations should consider when setting RTO and RPO goals. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>PCI DSS<\/strong>: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires organizations to protect cardholder data and maintain secure systems and networks.

HIPAA requires organizations to have a disaster recovery plan that includes specific RTO and RPO requirements for data backup and recovery.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>ISO 22301<\/strong>: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 22301 is a standard for business continuity management systems. ISO 22301 sets requirements for organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a business continuity management system, including specific requirements for RTO and RPO.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>NIST<\/strong>: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides guidelines for information security and risk management, including guidelines for disaster recovery and business continuity planning. NIST provides recommendations for setting RTO and RPO goals based on the specific needs of an organization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Backups\" class=\"\">These standards and regulations provide guidelines for setting RTO and RPO goals and establishing effective disaster recovery and business continuity plans. Organizations should review the specific requirements of these standards and regulations to ensure that their disaster recovery plans meet the necessary RTO and RPO requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading__glossary__content is-style-heading-4\" id=\"Common-Types-of-Cloud-RPO-and-RTO-Backups\">Common Types of Cloud RPO and RTO Backups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In cloud computing, there are several common types of backups used to meet RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) goals. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Snapshot backups<\/strong>: Snapshot backups create a point-in-time copy of a cloud system or service, including the data and configuration. Snapshot backups are typically used for short-term data protection and to meet low RPO goals.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Replication backups<\/strong>: Replication backups create real-time copies of cloud systems and services, including data and configurations. Replication backups are typically used for continuous data protection and to meet low RPO goals.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Cloud-to-cloud backups<\/strong>: Cloud-to-cloud backups create a copy of cloud systems and services, including data and configurations, in a different cloud environment. Cloud-to-cloud backups are typically used for off-site data protection and to meet higher RPO goals.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Hybrid backups<\/strong>: Hybrid backups combine multiple backup methods, such as snapshots, replication, and cloud-to-cloud backups, to provide a comprehensive data protection solution. Hybrid backups are typically used to meet a range of RPO and RTO goals and to ensure a high level of data protection and recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">These backup methods can be used individually or in combination to meet the specific RPO and RTO requirements of an organization. The choice of backup method depends on the specific requirements of the organization, including the criticality of the data, the desired RPO and RTO goals, and the budget and resources available for data protection.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull wp-block-commvault-v2-free-trial-glossary\" id=\"free-trial-glossary\">\n\t<div
